本剧基于Jeff Pearlman的书籍《Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s》创作，聚焦1980年代的洛杉矶湖人队，讲述队员的职业生涯和个人生活，以及那些在球场内外帮助定义了一个时代的非凡人物。在"表演时刻"期间，湖人队称霸NBA，5夺总冠军，是体育界最受崇敬、最具统治力的王朝之一。
"Showtime"曾被用作剧名，表示湖人队的"showtime era"。但由于与美国有线台Showtime撞名，并且该台是HBO竞争对手，剧集为避免混淆而放弃了沿用书名。
To the streets, “Raq” Thomas is cold, hard and fierce — a successful and deadly woman taking names in a man’s world. She is tough, resolute, ruthless, but Raq still is capable of love. Great love. The sole recipient of that affection is her son, Kanan; he is everything to her. As much as she cares for him, though, there are many instances where one wonders if she loves him for who he is or if she loves him merely as an extension of herself. The middle child of three, Raq also carries the heavy burden as the earner for her two brothers. She is the sun, and everyone else in her universe exists in her orbit.
